#splotchy hair gerry

[gingerbreadpopsolo]

Imagine doing a dye job bad ONCE, and now everyone thinks you have this look forever. How embarrassing. You can't escape it. You either do the job properly or grow out natural, and as SOON as someone hears your name, they go. "Oh! You're the guy with the bad dye job!" Despite that being years ago.

Godspeed man godspeed

I find it funny that as a fandom y'all decided "poorly dyed hair" for Gerry is just him not taking care of his roots. Like, where's the blotches of uneven color? Where's the lack of basic color theory and in turn his hair comes out more green than black? Where's the fried wire-haired look of using too much bleach? I mean I love the headcanon of Gerry originally being blonde and dying it black, but also the absolute shit show of bleaching your hair, hating it, and then trying to dye it black again for it to just turn out splotchy and green is my favorite thing ever.

This man was known for his poorly dyed hair, it was probably horrendous. I gotta draw this representation at some point.

Because I am in denial about the end of Magnus, I decided to illustrate a piece for my favorite episode, Family Business! I use he/they pronouns for both Jon and Gerry, just to clarify! Miss you everyday Gerry <3

[ID: Digital drawing of Jonathan Sims and Gerry Keay from the Magnus Archives. In the first image, Jon is right side up and Gerry is upside down, and in the second image they are reversed. Jon is a thin person with medium brown skin and dark brown eyes. Their hair is mid-length, black and wavy with thin and thick streaks of gray. He has round, semicircle glasses. They are covered in various scars and wearing an ace ring, and is wearing an oversized, splotchy grey shirt. He looks concerned, and is holding the Catalogue of the Trapped Dead. The text above their head reads ‘Gerard? Gerard Keay?’ Gerry is a thin person with pale skin and long, black hair with blond roots. He has several facial and ear piercings and has eye tattoos all over their joints. They are wearing a leather jacket, and are floating above the Catalogue while glowing a pale blue. They are crossing their arms, and they look unimpressed. The text above them reads ‘You’re new.’ End ID/]
